Cooper and the guys over at Focalpoint had an amazing jam down at the iconic Flemington Drains in Melbourne earlier this month and we were stoked to be apart of it all. This video is a great watch and some serious hammers go down! Marnold, Jack, Dean and Pete all have clips in there aswell. While you’re here go follow Focalpoint on Facebook.

Coops just got back from a filming trip in Adelaide, he has a heavy schedule this year for trips and although he spends alot of his time behind the lens he still gets out there in front of it at every chance possible. Keep an eye out for him all over the country clocking clips.

A few of us are in Adelaide right now and whilst here we popped into an awesome backyard jam being held by Angus Samson and the crew. They had an amazing setup and vibe going on. I snagged a couple quick shots of Peta and Jack just before it got to dark.

Jourdan is always working on something! This all night web video shot by Larry Alvarado for Index ink is dope, plenty of good lines and at the end the guys tell you how you can win some Index merch which is an extra bonus.

When we did the tour of parts of the UK last September we had a session at the famous Rampworx park in Liverpool. The place was amazing and we had a blast riding with everyone there. I spotted this video from the session online last night so figured I should share it with you guys. Along with our video from the entire trip.

Ryan Guettler opted out to come back to Australia this summer like he usually does. Read on below as to what he has been up too of late…

I just wanted to send every one a monthly web update and let every one know I haven’t fallen off earth yet and why im in the cold America and not in sunny summer Australia right now. Main reason is because I want to take advantage of all the spots around me and ride as hard as I can. I really want 2013 to be the best year yet.

So far I’m on the right track I did a road trip to Phoenix in my RV if you didn’t get to see it check the video..

I’m happy to announce that we are doing a web series based around the RV and the next trip leaves this Thursday to San Francisco. I really pumped on this web series I’ll be doing 6 road trips with different riders kinda like road fools which was a video I loved to watch as a kid. The best thing about the trips is it brings out my best riding and doing 6 stops before the comp session starts is only going to push me in the best way possible.

Also just finished a Vans shoes web edit, which should drop soon. Pumped on the edit I want to show the trails ive been digging and riding most days. There near my house and in the edit I want to show what I get up to there most days.

The Down Under Ground flatland event recently when down in Sydney on the weekend & by the reports all went really well with a good turn out as well. Simon O’Brien took the win & had a blast doing so. Thanks to everyone involved… we will always support Australian flatland where we can with events like this.

Here are a few words from the man himself…

I went up to Sydney for the DUG, a pitty about some rain, would have been more riding. But we had a great turn out and ride out at bondi, with people stoked on the event and a BBQ afterwards at Paul’s. A great summer comp.

A few of us are out in Canberra right now on the clip count, yesterday was crazy hot so it was a battle but otherwise things have been good. Here are a couple random shots from the trip. Follow us on Instagram for more updates. @colonybmxbrand

Alex Hiam had once again fallen victim to injury after his recent Sony trip but was only off the bike for a week or so this time. Here is a doubles edit he did on his first ride back recently with Tim Storey. Enjoy !!

We got some photos together with Jack and put his team page together, bars to ice is on point! Check it out here. Jack also got added to the Dishonour Brand family and to coincide with that news they dropped a cool quick edit of jack.

This weekend in Sydney, is the first event of the 2013 series of the DownUnderGround flatland comps. As always, we are supporting the event once again. Should be a good time as always. If you’re in the area or up for a road trip then get yourself down there for some great flatland action.

Chris Courtenay is on fire of late… filming heaps & killing it as always. Check out this recent video by Greg Phillips. Chris uses almost every bit of the park at Nerang to it’s fullest. Really enjoyed this one… check it.

Our friends over at Weareorangejuice just dropped an interview with Zac Miner which is a good read into what he gets upto these days. WAOJ also just recently dropped a new collection of apparel which you can check out here.
